Malayer 1829

An elegant early 20th-century Persian Malayer area rug, this piece captures the timeless beauty of Northwest Persia’s weaving heritage. Featuring the classic oversized Malayer medallion design, the composition centers on an elongated medallion in soft pale blue, gracefully set within a cream diamond-shaped field. The border in a gentle pale salmon hue is adorned with intricate motifs in pale blue, brown, and cream, while the navy blue corner spandrels showcase the traditional Herati pattern. Woven with hand-spun wool and dyed using natural vegetable pigments, the rug displays a beautiful abrash that enhances its depth and character.
